Renewable energy . We would not have to renew so much energy if we did not waste it on vanity displays such as fancy light displays and waterfalls etc. Think of how much energy is wasted in Las Vegas! Wasted on waterfalls "that look nice" in corporate lobbies. Fancy light displays that do nothing. Lights on at schools and factories that are not "security necessary".
Many of my generation were raised by "depression baby parents". We were taught to turn off the lights when you leave a room.
Maybe an effort to make our processes more efficient, and stop wasting energy would solve half of this problem.
When you leave the office - turn off the lights.
When you leave the coal mine shaft - turn off the lights.
I am not hearing much of an effort/discussion in this direction.
